Papillon

My little girl has one of these. He's a smart little bastard. He came and woke me up one night because the toilet was overflowing.

Our lab died a few years ago and we've yet to replace him.

Absolutely true with the basset hound we had. They know full well what they are doing.

Yeah these dogs are idiots. My parents had one. One day the wind blew over a garbage can, so it was laying on the ground with no lid. The dog walked into the can and couldn’t find it’s way out. All it had to do was turn around and walk out but couldn’t do it.

Didn’t even make the bottom of the list.

Low IQ dog for low IQ owners.

I can believe this.


We've got a mixed breed who appears to be a mix of a "fair" and "lowest" category breed.

It took quite a while before it started to listen to commands.

Currently have a #4 Golden Retriever and he is the smartest and most obedient dog I've ever had. I had a #129 Bassett Hound and a #131 Beatle and they were absolutely the dumbest and most disobedient animals I've ever owned, but I sure did love them. They died a couple of years, just a few months apart

Not sure how, but these breeds get much dumber once you mix them together. At least my Doodles are pretty derp derp.

I still think a mutt from the shelter is the best dog. It’s all I’ve ever had so I may not know any better.

My vet concurred fwiw. I asked him about golden doodles for my mom and he said each are very smart but mixed they are dumb. Their doodle is retarded. Can’t catch a treat, doesn’t fetch, and is just a huge oaf.

When you mix these two, you should subtract one ranking from the other to get the new ranking.

91. Great Dane

121. Great Pyrenees


When you mix these two, you should add the rankings together to get the new ranking.

I take it you have never owned a coon hound

They understand very well they choose to ignore it. My hound is smart as hell and knows they are ignoring or disobeying commands.

a lot of the dogs at the bottom ain't dumb....they just don't give a shite. my dog is smart AF but he knows when he has to listen. if you ain't got food or in swinging distance he isn't paying attention.
